Travel w Us 🫶🏼
Out of my 30 years I think this was my first vacation with my 83 year old Grandaddy!
Day 1: Coming in we went to Cades Cove. Probably our most loved and enjoyed places to visit! We took the scenic loop with Mountain views. It has historic cabins. You can hike to Abrams Falls and even picnic, buttttt we don’t lol We love looking for wildlife like deer, turkeys, and even black bears. We left and went and settling in to the cabin, ate pizza, and played air hockey
Day 2: We went to Pigeon Forge Snow to snow tune indoors. It was perfect for my 10m old being indoors and not out in the cold! We had a blast there. That Evening we went to Tower Shops to look in all the shops there. We grab some gourmet cinnamon rolls from Cinnaholic anddd let me tell youuuu 😋😋 you got to try the cinnamon toast roll
Day 3: We took Decker to Ripley’s Aquarium. He absolutely loved it and so did we! We went to the Island that evening for dinner at Dicks Last Resort, to see the water fountain light show, and to Build A Bear. At Build A Bear we got Decker a little bear with a recording of his great Grandaddy saying some special words to him 🥹🫶🏼
Day 4: We went back to Cades Cove with the whole family, took some family pictures, Grandaddy got to look at the cabins and churches, we seen turkey and deer but no bear
Leaving out: We stopped at the Apple barn and grabbed apple fritters, apple donuts, apple cider, and apple butter. A very iconic place to eat at the restaurant and shop the general store and other shops there!
